A key mechanism of colonial fascism for complicity:

narratively transfer genocides to the past + performatively regret them (w/o any consequences like land back, but profiting), while ignoring their presence.

That’s all I can think about when I see Germany suddenly protesting their far-right now.

Those denying systemic violence will irrationally view resistance as violence.

Reversal of victim and offender.

"By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master"

Those who are not Palestinians or Israelis, and those who do not study Palestine or Israel - I'm here to let you know that there is also the option of staying quiet. Perhaps even learning from others? Idk just a thought

everybody dunking on this guy, but anytime the fed raises interest rates to "cool down wage pressure" or whatever econ-speak euphemism they use, this is what they are saying as close to out loud as they can

Decoloniality is destruction/reconstruction. It means refusing complicity (e.g., Boaventura supporters), while recognizing “that what [needs] to be repaired is irreparable. It can’t be repaired. The only thing we can do is tear this shit down completely and build something new.

Decolonization is destruction and construction, not superficial, liberal inclusion.

Two aging dams failed in Libya—once Africa’s most prosperous nation—and whole neighborhoods in Derna were swept away. 12 years after the 2011 NATO mission to overthrow Gaddafi, Libya’s economy and infrastructure have been decimated by war and now the interplay of climate change and imperialism.

Overpopulation is a racist dogwhistle.

I was at Mills College on 9/11. I knew in an instant what is was going to mean for the Arabic world. Everyone else was just living their lives.

Hence, I’ll remember 9/11/73 today.
